Hank Aaron’s death plunged David Ortiz and the rest of the baseball world into mourning.

The Boston Red Sox legend honored the late Baseball Hall of Famer on Friday with a tribute post on Twitter.

Ortiz wrote glowingly of Aaron, whom he describes as a “legend” and “the best to ever do it.”

Aaron died Friday morning at age 86.
